In which the internationally renowned spiritual teacher John Philip Newell outlines the main themes of his ground-breaking new book The Great Search: Turning to Earth & Soul in the Quest for Healing & Home (August 2024, HarperOne in the US and Wild Goose Publications in the UK). In this time of transition in which so many of us are longing for a spirituality of intimacy with Earth rather than a spirituality of alienation from Earth, and a vision of interrelatedness and harmony instead of religious and political division, John Philip points to a path of healing and transformation for us, both individually and together.

This meaningful evening with John Philip is presented free of charge as a gift from St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and Bookstore and will include the main talk, a time of spiritual practice and a question and answer session. All are invited to a post-talk reception including a book signing immediately following.
